Your Host

Nasir Seong

Born on Jeju where his grandfather ran a flatfish farm, Nasir grew up by the sea before moving to Incheon. After embracing Islam, he returned to his roots — now bridging Korean culture and the global Muslim community through unforgettable island retreats. From verifying every halal meal to ensuring clean prayer spaces at every stop, Nasir personally curates each retreat to make Jeju feel like home for Muslim travelers from around the world.

His Story

From Jeju to the World, and Back Again

Jeju Roots

Nasir's family has deep roots in Jeju — his grandfather ran a flatfish farm on the island. He grew up surrounded by Jeju's volcanic coasts and crystal-clear waters before his family moved to Incheon.

Finding Islam

Growing up in Incheon, Nasir embraced Islam — a decision that reshaped his entire worldview. It gave him a new sense of purpose and eventually drew him back to the island where it all began.

Returning to Jeju

After becoming Muslim, Nasir returned to his childhood island — this time with fresh eyes and a mission. Seeing migrant Muslim workers with nowhere to pray, he built a private musalla in his own home — a story later featured by Arab News.

Hosting the World

What started as hosting a few friends became a movement. Muslim travelers from Malaysia, UAE, Turkey, Indonesia, and beyond now come to Jeju to experience something they can't find anywhere else — an adventure that respects their faith.
